Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1680: Past Rivals

"The... the martial arts arena, it’s gone..."

The martial artists watching around widened their eyes.

"If I remember correctly, the martial arts arena of Dongli Sword Palace is made of Extreme East Iron Stone, even a Martial Arts Great Power can at most leave a few marks."

"And Ye Liu shattered it into dust with just one palm?"

This grand event is a competition for the quota of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, with major forces from the Central Region gathering, and heavenly talents assembled.

As the host, Dongli Sword Palace naturally wouldn’t spare any effort.

This martial arts arena was directly forged from Extreme East Iron Stone.

Extreme East Iron Stone, by itself, isn’t very valuable.

But this peculiar stone can only be found in the Extreme East.

The iron stone, existing in the Extreme East, looks as ordinary as any stone, yet it withstands the erosion of the wild winds for millions of years without a trace of damage.

Extreme East Iron Stone has no use for cultivation.

But its characteristic is its extreme hardness.

This iron stone can’t even be used to forge weapons, because it simply can’t bear primordial power.

This time, it was used by Dongli Sword Palace to build the martial arts arena.

Moreover, Dongli Sword Palace is one of the Three Great Sword Palaces of the present age.

Within the palace, the sword techniques are exceptionally sharp.

The disciples within the Sword Palace are all remarkable in Sword Dao.

Usually, disciples, deacons, and even elders of the Sword Palace use these Extreme East Iron Stones to practice and hone their Sword Qi.

There is a rumor that the reason Dongli Sword Palace established its sect here countless years ago is related to the Extreme East Iron Stone.

And now, the incredibly hard Extreme East Iron Stone was completely turned into dust with just one palm from Ye Liu.

No wonder all the spectators were visibly shocked.

"The most powerful hand technique of Ye Saint Mansion, Ye Saint Palm, is indeed formidable." Ran Qi showed a look of astonishment and nodded.

Next to her, Xiao Yi smiled indifferently and said nothing.

Xiao Yi had already witnessed Ye Saint Palm when Ye Liu fought half a year ago, so he naturally knew its power.

"He won." Gu Lianxing’s face lit up with joy.

"This Ye Liu indeed has some skills." Gongsun Huowu also showed a surprised expression.

Previously, when she fought Yuee Tian,

her whip shadows were flickering, although they also cracked the martial arts arena floor a little.

But the cracks were at most a few inches deep.

This shows how hard the Extreme East Iron Stone is.

While the martial arts arena covers a thousand meters with a thickness of several meters,

the difference between the two is clear.

"He hasn’t won yet." Ran Qi shook her head, her tone heavy, "Beiyin Building isn’t as simple as you think."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Beiyin Building is completely untouched."

"What?" Gu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu were greatly alarmed.

On the martial arts arena.

Ye Liu stood with his hands behind his back, floating above the dust.

The enormous martial arts arena was turned into dust with one palm, the countless particles piled several meters high.

Boom...

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.

A surge of primordial power exploded instantly, stirring a storm over the range of the martial arts arena.

The dust from the Extreme East Iron Stone, whipped up by the wild wind, flew all over the sky.

"Hum." A few martial artists in the spectator seats attempted to block the dust.

However, they couldn’t harm the dust and instead got themselves covered in it, looking disheveled.

Only atop the chief seat of the spectator stand, several Sword Qis from Ao Donglou shredded the incoming dust into particles.

Also on Xiao Yi’s side, a surge of Purple Flame condensed, incinerating the dust into nothing before it could reach him.

Besides this, all spectators were covered by the dust from the Extreme East Iron Stone.

"Phoo... phoo..."

Numerous martial artists quickly wiped the dust from their faces and hair.

"What the hell is this Extreme East Iron Stone, even turned into dust, it’s still this hard, damn it."

At this moment, on the martial arts arena, the enormous arena had disappeared, and the dust had dissipated.

Apart from Ye Liu standing with his hands behind his back, opposite him, Beiyin Building was also unharmed.

"You’ve got some skill." Ye Liu slightly frowned.

Beiyin Building’s face was cold, "Ye Liu from Ye Saint Mansion is just like that."

"But with the martial arts arena destroyed by you, how do we fight now?"

Their gazes simultaneously turned to the Sword Palace referee.

The Sword Palace referee looked towards Ao Donglou on the chief spectator seat.

Ao Donglou nodded, with a flick of his fingertips, a Sword Qi descended from the sky.

The Sword Qi scattered precisely in mid-air, flying in all directions.

When the Sword Qi dissipated,

A circle carved with Sword Qi appeared on the ground.

The circle’s range was similar to the previous martial arts arena.

"The ground has the formation of Dongli Sword Palace, it can’t be broken, you can fight freely."

"And the range outlined by my Sword Qi is your battlefield."

"Let the battle continue."

Ao Donglou finished speaking and sat down slowly.

The martial arts arena, no, now it can only be called a martial arts circle.

The battle between the two inside the martial arts circle reignited.

On the spectator seats, Xiao Yi watched the battle between the two, frowning in thought.

The strength of these two is evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

"Beiyin Sect." Xiao Yi pondered over this sect.

The Beiyin Sect, this sect, he certainly knew, was the overlord force of the Central Region, with fame and power surpassing the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures.

So what about Beiyin Palace?

Xiao Yi remembered that when he first came to the Central Region, he had to traverse the range of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and a million lifethreatening lands.

At that time, the group he encountered claimed to be from Beiyin Palace. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The enigmatic young man had many tricks up his sleeve, along with his subordinates he referred to as Shadow One, Shadow Two, Shadow Three, and so on.

At that time, the strength and cultivation of these people were not too strong.

But their methods were astonishingly impressive.

With Xiao Yi’s skills, he could practically achieve invincibility in his realm and even easily crush several levels higher.

But against that group, he had to exhaust all his efforts and strategies to deal with them one by one.

And the last encounter with the self-proclaimed ’Hidden Invincible’ man.

Even now, Xiao Yi’s perceptive eyes wouldn’t dare underestimate that man.

As the saying goes, "three days apart, you must look at a person anew."

But for supreme prodigies, a short time unseen means soaring to the sky.

Calculating the time, it had been quite a few years since he first arrived in the Central Region.

That man called ’Hidden Invincible,’ his strength by now is probably beyond imagination.

Xiao Yi couldn’t be certain, but he was sure that this person’s talent is definitely among the most exceptional young prodigies he had ever seen.

The only one he could think of on par was Mo Youu.

"Beiyin Sect, Beiyin Palace." Xiao Yi frowned.

He didn’t know whether the ’Hidden Invincible’ had any connections with Beiyin Sect.

But he was certain that compared to the ’Hidden Invincible’ he encountered years ago, this Beiyin Sect’s Young Sect Master, Beiyin Building, was worlds apart.

Back then, at parting, the casual glance of Hidden Invincible, the dominance in his eyes, and the disdain as if overlooking all beings were almost the greatest Xiao Yi had ever seen.

Just at this moment, exclamations erupted from the surrounding spectator seats.

"It’s the Ye Saint Six Extremes, finally appearing, the Ye Saint Six Extremes famous in the Central Region."

The exclamations interrupted Xiao Yi’s thoughts.

"Ye Saint Six Extremes?" Xiao Yi muttered, "The winner should be decided by now."

...

The sixth update. (Burst)

Today’s update, done.

Though it was just a small burst, we’ll continue tomorrow, goodnight everyone.
